After The Gold Rush
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing
And drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed
To a new home in the sun
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed
to a new home
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the twenty one century
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the twenty one century
